This is what I mean though. You can't watch a video. This works flawlessly on RDP on Windows (will be a little compressed if you are on lower bandwidth). It's a fairly major problem if you're using it as your primary machine.
Have you tried RDP? It is miles ahead of anything else I've seen.

- easton 6y agoWhat if you use the system as your only computer, using other devices as thin clients? Windows/Linux has tons of different ways to optimize for this (RDP with acceleration, Citrix, LTSP/X forwarding), whereas the Mac doesn’t. Which is fair, Apple didn’t design the OS to be used that way, but it’s an annoying drawback.
